A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and
comfort the human foot while the wearer is doing various activities. They were
originally created simply to protect the wearers feet. In modern times,
shoes are also used as a fashion item. Traditionally, shoes have been made
from leather, wood or canvas, but they are also made from rubber, plastics, and
other petrochemical-derived materials. Footwear comes in a wide variety of
colors, shapes, sizes, and uses. Athletic shoes, boots, dress shoes, and
more can be researched from the links below.
